Incentives that were unheard of in the '90s workforce are now standard at some companies, who are extending benefits beyond healthcare and retirement plans. The inclusion of on-site services such as manicures, laundry and daycare are enabling employees to cut their errands in half. Massage chairs, yoga classes and even napping have been encouraged to cut back the daily errands and reduce the stress levels of the employed.
According to a survey by the Massage Therapy Journal, more than half of the companies that offer massages have added it in the last five years. A company named MetroNaps has taken on-the-job dozing to a futuristic form with pods that, while currently are limited to a space in the Empire State Building and on-site leased locations, enable a place to crash at work without requiring employees to be hunched over their desks or holed up in their cars.
